The United States on Monday condemned the attack on Saudi oil facilities, saying the Houthis needed to show seriousness about US-backed peace efforts.
鈥淲e condemn the egregious Houthi drone and missile attack against Saudi Aramco facilities,鈥� State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters.

鈥淭he Houthis, in our view and in the view of our allies and partners, have to demonstrate their willingness to engage in a political process. They need to, quite simply, stop attacking and start negotiating.鈥�
White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki also on Monday said that the Biden administration remains alarmed by escalating attacks on 抖阴短视频, and that the Kingdom faces 鈥済enuine security threats鈥� from the Iran-backed Houthi militia and elsewhere in the region.
